Charles & Ray Eames — The Complete Works (Design, Film, Architecture)
$20.00
Creative duo Charles and Ray Eames were among the most transformative forces in design history. Through furniture, architecture, textiles, photography, industrial design, and film, the husband-and-wife team defined an optimistic, multifunctional modernity—one that reshaped middle-class American living and still guides design thinking today.
This richly illustrated volume surveys the full Eames repertoire: from molded plywood and fiberglass innovations to the Eames Lounge Chair & Ottoman, wire seating, modular storage, and playful plywood toys; from Case Study House No. 8 to exhibitions and films that made complex ideas beautifully accessible. Archival photos, sketches, production shots, and period ephemera reveal how the Eameses blended human-centered research with joyful experimentation.
